Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book begins by asserting that irrigation is a broad topic that cannot be easily confined to a single volume. Nevertheless, the author attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of the guiding principles of irrigation engineering in this volume. They draw upon many examples of irrigation practices and projects from India and Egypt, where irrigation has been practiced on a large scale. Their insights provide a detailed examination of various irrigation methods, including perennial systems, water duty, and the design and construction of dams, reservoirs, canals, and other irrigation infrastructure. The book also explores the history of irrigation, traditional basin irrigation methods, and issues related to soil management, water distribution, crop selection, and more. The ultimate significance of this book is its elucidation of efficient irrigation practices that can prevent soil degradation, boost crop yields, and improve agricultural productivity in arid and semi-arid regions around the world.
